Leisure & Entertainment

If you fancy an arts and culture experience, meander through the acclaimed, award-winning Tauranga Art Gallery, or Creative Tauranga's gallery across the road.

Size up the talent of local crafts people by wandering through one of the boutique galleries, the Cargo Shed in Dive Crescent, or the monthly craft market in Mid City Mall.  

Explore the City's rich history on the waterfront - by reading the signboards along the Strand. You'll learn about Tauranga's history as a sleepy fishing village in the early days. Relax a while in grassy Masonic Park, or enjoy the waterfront and watch children play in the water jet fountain.  

Take just a short stroll to the Tauranga Library, Brain-Watkins house, the historic Elms Mission Station - or take in a show at Baycourt Community Theatre.    

You'll swiftly realise that Tauranga boasts many historical places and buildings, galleries and culture within easy walking distance of the City Centre. They're a 'must see' for visitors and locals alike.
